We should use that as a huge marketing tool to draw people back, get the watering at the mouth of the prospect of watching our team in the facilities we deserve!'"
Buy some shares and maybe you would have seen them already. Seriously its early days with plans at this stage so we don't need to get carried away, we can wait untill we have something
concrete before we use it has a marketing tool. |

| Quote The Devil's Advocate="The Devil's Advocate"Just a couple of questions, firstly, were the shareholders aware before last night that BV had been sold at the end of 2007?
Secondly, the 1.7M received seems to have filled a rather large hole in the accounts - 1.2M? Does this mean that all the proceeds for the sale of BV can be used to finance the running of the club, or, is it classed as Capital, only to be used towards the financing of the new ground?'"
I had no idea, i would imagine we can use all the money to fund the team/club. |

| Quote bellycouldtackle="bellycouldtackle"The 10,000 average is a problem and I think its time for a serious look at the issues.
It is obvious to see that we have two growth areas in our crowds, the number of juniors who come to home matches and the number of fans we take to away games. The marketing / community department need a pat on the back for their work that has increased junior numbers year on year.
I think that the number of fans we take on away matches has increased because we now win a few away games, that many of the away games are played in clean, modern stadiums, where parking is good and most importantly we all sit together.
The home crowds are down mainly because many of the away support choose not to visit Belle Vue, poor parking, poor facilities, no cover etc. Ted and the board are busting a gut to get us the new ground that will solve this problem.
Away support at Belle Vue are often subjected to abuse etc, just read these message boards, people decide not to come to Belle Vue because they have had a poor experience. Lets be real, can you blame them. Many people choose Hull as the best ground and I love watching the game in the away end with all the Wakefield fans. Would I enjoy the experience if I had to sit infront of the Hull `chavs ` who sit in the corner. No it would be a much different experience, very unpleasant and one I would look to avoid.
It would be very difficult to offer away support a segregated area at Belle Vue. Leeds take 5,000 to Huddersfield and only 2000 to Belle Vue. Wigan take 3,000 to Hull and 850 to Belle Vue and we cannot blame them.
Our adult home support is not growing, many wait to see what the weather will be like, but many have decided that although the rugby is great, the facilities are poor and many people do not like the bad language and the drunken yobbishness that is often on show.
So we need, in my opinion a radical approach. Getting the new ground will be radical and again I cannot praise the board enough for their continued determination to deliver this.
I think that next season we should take half of our home games on the road. This will help us market Trinity to a wider group of people. We will be playing from better facilites where we can offer the away fans ( and our own fans ) a much better match day experience and segregation.
I would like to see us play say Catalans, Celtic and Harlequins at Dewsbury. Hull and Hull KR at Doncaster, Leeds, Wigan and Warrington at Barnsley.
Play Cas, Bradford, Saints and Salford at Belle Vue.
Whilst we are playing out of Belle Vue, no matter how well the team are doing we will never reach the 10,000 average. So lets be radical in order to improve the crowds, lets get this show on the road.... road trip.... road trip'"
I think you may have hit the nail on the head with this comment. |

I'm a little lost!
In 2005ish we came out of the CVA and were supposedly debt free!
IIRC we then announced that we had made a small profit for the next two consecutive years.
Are we now saying that we have lost £1,2 Million over the last two/three years?
Also can someone explain the general design of the new stadium and site?

| Quote Ossett Cat="Ossett Cat"BV was sold at the end of 2007 to a developer for approx £2.8M, of which £1.7M has already been rec'd and is showing in the accounts, there is another £1.1m due (presumably when we vacate the site. Ted said we can occupy BV till we move into a new ground...he didn't say what would happen if the new ground didn't come off.
The shareholders should be asking
1. Who are the developers and their directors that pre-purchased BV @ the end of 2007.
2. Why were the shareholders only informed of this 18 months later or is it just New World Thatcherism (trade marked and registered world wide in any forms)
It's not about having a go it's about time there was a bit more honesty from all sides including us the supporters.
It's about time that all parties now work together more than ever to deliver a team that's fitting of a better stage.
See it's never about where we play it's about who we are.
I rest my case m'lod
